Red Vienna Sourcebook, Blake Taylor, Dr. Rob Mcfarland May 2018

Red Vienna Sourcebook, Blake Taylor, Dr. Rob Mcfarland

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Under the guidance of my ORCA mentor, Professor Rob McFarland, I teamed up this semester with an international working group that is producing the Red Vienna Sourcebook, a reference work that will help North American scholars to supplement their knowledge of German-speaking Europe in the interwar period. I worked with Professor McFarland primarily to search out newspaper articles that demonstrate this time period, write introductions to the articles, and submit the articles for inclusion in the sourcebook.


Discovery And Invention Of Image Effects: A Study Of Gombrich's Theory Of Caricature, Chun Mu May 2018

Discovery And Invention Of Image Effects: A Study Of Gombrich's Theory Of Caricature, Chun Mu

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

E. H. Gombrich's discussions on caricatures play an important role in his study of the history of art and image psychology. He begins his narrative of the magic of art with the taboos of caricature and in this way delineates the course of Western art history. He also reflects on the representational images in Western Naturalism from the perspective of equivalences of caricatures, and by means of this he reveals the truth of image psychology. Gombrich argues that all image makings, including the one aiming at representation, pursue equivalences instead of similarities, and image makers always devote themselves to conducting …


From Antihumanism To Posthuman: Beyond Anthropomorphical Dialectics, Chunxiao Zhang May 2018

From Antihumanism To Posthuman: Beyond Anthropomorphical Dialectics, Chunxiao Zhang

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Humanism and some Anti-humanistic theories share the same dialectical logic, which is deconstructed by Derrida but lacks alternatives. On the other hand, humanism is easily brought back into the discussion of Posthumanistic subjects due to anthropomorphism characterized by dialectics. This article tries to differentiate the "Posthuman" in its narrow sense from Antihumanism in its broad sense. Such Posthuman is exteriority that detours the consciousness of subjectivity, monism that deconstructs all kinds of fundamentalism and binary, and, finally, empirical embodiment.


From The Bicameral Man To The Self-Presider: About The Inner Voice Of Characters In Narrative Works, Xiuyan Fu May 2018

From The Bicameral Man To The Self-Presider: About The Inner Voice Of Characters In Narrative Works, Xiuyan Fu

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

One inspiration drawn from Julian Jaynes' theory of bicameral mind is that the construction of human beings' subjective consciousness has not yet been completed, which should arouse great awareness of all researchers in "Science of Man". Cautiously applying this theory to reexamine the characters with inner voice in their ears in narrative works helps us to further understand the mental state of human beings. We cannot ignore the description of consciousness itself which is written by literature as an ideology. Moreover, the depth frequently achieved by this kind of writing is beyond the reach of other kinds. Since the consciousness …


Theory About The Essence Of Literature From The Perspective Of Ontology, Zhongyuan Wang May 2018

Theory About The Essence Of Literature From The Perspective Of Ontology, Zhongyuan Wang

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Under the background of deconstructionism, contemporary literary anti-essentialism has posed questions such as: what is the theory about the essence of literature and how does it become possible? To answer these questions, one needs to study the connotation and possibility of theories about the essence of literature from an ontological perspective. The essence of literature refers to the being of literature. The theory about the essence of literature is thus the theoretical interpretation of being of literature, which is also the primary subject of literary studies and the metatheory of literary theory. The ontological area on which the theory about …


The Cultural Politics Of Conspicuous Consumption In China, Min Zhou May 2018

The Cultural Politics Of Conspicuous Consumption In China, Min Zhou

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

To adequately understand contemporary conspicuous consumption in China, one needs to put it in a historical background and look at it not only from an economic perspective but also from cultural and political points of view. Both China and the West have had the phenomenon of conspicuous consumption at different historical periods, which, in their own ways, have constituted different cultural and political narratives and have demonstrated in them different characteristics. Three Confucian values that affect Chinese people's consumption of luxurious commodities — namely, maintaining consistency between behavior and status, family reputation and the awareness of other people's influence — …


Return To Roman Jakobson: On The Linguistic Source Of "Literariness", Wei Feng May 2018

Return To Roman Jakobson: On The Linguistic Source Of "Literariness", Wei Feng

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

It is necessary to take the linguistic source of "literariness" into account when we discuss the controversy concerning the term itself. Jakobson brought forth the concept of "literariness" for the first time in 1919. After that, the relation between literature and linguistics always played a leading role in his academic thoughts. He was also the first to use the notion of "structuralism" in 1929 and became a pivotal figure in the adaptation of Saussure's structural analysis to literary theory. Not only did he explore his precursor's functionalist ideology, but also expanded the social significance and humanistic values of linguistic studies. …


Particularities In Time And Space: On Historicism In Stephen Greenblatt's New Historicism, Zhu Wang May 2018

Particularities In Time And Space: On Historicism In Stephen Greenblatt's New Historicism, Zhu Wang

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Historicism usually appears as a confusing concept in scholarly writings. Several thinkers have made definitions of this term in both its strict and loose senses, and it is now usually used in its loose sense — it can refer to any methodology in which a certain entity is examined by placing it in a specific time and place. Stephen Greenblatt's major works share the spirit of historicism in its loose sense in that he has put into question the possibility of building an abstract theoretical system independent of time and space. Greenblatt was accused of having shied away from examinations …


On Different Models For Lyric Poems, Culler Jonathan, Danhong Cao May 2018

On Different Models For Lyric Poems, Culler Jonathan, Danhong Cao

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Two conceptions of the lyric have come to dominate the study of poetry in the Anglo-American world: the Romantic model, which considers lyric as an intense expression of subjective experience and emotion, and the mimetic model that treats poetry as the thought or speech of a persona created by the poet, therefore adopting methods and strategies used in analysing fictional texts. Neither of these two can be the "default model" for describing and interpreting lyrics because of their neglect of the fundamental characteristics of lyrics: all those elements which are fundamentally directions for performance rather than representations. Moreover, while lyrics …


The Formation Of Body Modernity And Its Discourse Dimension: A Case Study Of "Body Encounter" In Modern China, Jigang Huang May 2018

The Formation Of Body Modernity And Its Discourse Dimension: A Case Study Of "Body Encounter" In Modern China, Jigang Huang

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Body modernity played an important role in the process of shaping cultural modernity. Discourse of the body corresponded to the modern enlightenment, and expressed the political metaphor of the formation of modernity. From the issue of "body encounter" in modern China, we see the production process of the national body, the over-dominance of which reflected the needs of the time. The appearance of the body, to a certain extent, eased the anxiety of reform, which was also the body's frustration.


Testimonies Of Identity And Intimate Partner Violence, Jamie Berrien May 2018

Testimonies Of Identity And Intimate Partner Violence, Jamie Berrien

Master's Theses

Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is an epidemic that has impacted millions of women in our country. IPV is found in every community and impacts women from all races, ethnicities, religion, background, and socio-economic status. Yet, research shows that women in the United States who are not a part of the dominant culture experience IPV at a much higher rate than white women. This study focuses on the sacred testimonies of six women who have experienced IPV, as well as an analysis of the women's identities and other forms of oppression which impacts her experiences and survival of the violence.


Toward A Theology Of Transformation: Destroying The Sycamore Tree Of White Supremacy, Hannah Kathleen Griggs May 2018

Toward A Theology Of Transformation: Destroying The Sycamore Tree Of White Supremacy, Hannah Kathleen Griggs

Celebration of Learning

Black liberation theologians come to terms with white supremacy by collectively remembering the story of the Exodus and Jesus' crucifixion--affirming God's preference for freedom and in-the-world salvation. The particular history of white American Christianity requires a different story to provide the foundation for our social memory. As white American Christians, we have certain blind spots—blind spots created by historical and social privileges that have given white people unequal access to power and resources. The story of Zacchaeus has the potential to help reframe white Christianity’s conception of race relations in the United States, shifting from a reconciliation paradigm to a …


Where Are We Going? : A Critical Analysis Of Millennials And The Traditional Church, Riley Ferguson May 2018

Where Are We Going? : A Critical Analysis Of Millennials And The Traditional Church, Riley Ferguson

Celebration of Learning

Walk into any given Protestant church on any given Sunday morning, outside of Christmas and Easter; what you will most likely see is the pastor at the front of the congregation running through the week’s prayers, a piano/organ playing, a cross somewhere at the front, but what you will not see is a great multitude of young adults between the ages of 18-29 (Kinnaman). There is a problem with millennial church membership and it is deeply impacting our congregations and how faith is being understood today. Pastors, church leaders, and congregations have been trying to find ways to solve the …
